4.5 Using VRM to Determine Depth & Distance from Boat
The
VRM
(variable range marker) key is used on the Fishfinder to determine
the depth and distance-behind-boat of an object on the display. The
VRM
function is available on the scrolling fishfinder display, bottom lock and zoom
windows.
A VRM is displayed as a cross hair with height and width of the display
window. The center of the crosshair is the reference for which depth and
distance-behind-boat are displayed. You can use the context-sensitive cursor
to move the VRM over a particular object.
Depth is displayed, in the system units, on the right hand edge of horizontal
line. In the scrolling fishfinder and zoom windows depth is measured from the
surface down. In the bottom lock window, depth is measure from the bottom
up.
Distance-behind-boat is displayed next to the vertical line, at the top of the
window. The VRM distance units correspond to the depth units assigned in the
System Set Up Parameters (see page 7-4) as follows:
